Commander Or'es'Ka (still in progress)

"Prosper, as Tau shall."

Commander Or'es'Ka has just landed in Nan Yanoi, one of the moons of Kaurava II, and has been given one sole task by Ethereal Aun'el Rio: Pacify the Kaurava system for the Greater Good. He has established a military base on the moon and has constructed the epitome of Tau technology: the Ar'Ka Space Cannon, which elimininates all infantry but leaves plants, vehicles and buildings unharmed. Inspected by the Ethereal himself, the Cannon has now been activated, poised to strike when needed. If only their enemies would surrender to the Greater Good...

Commander Or'es'Ka embraces the "Great strength, Great strike" tactic, whose reliability has been debated often in Tau higher circles.

Tactics

Like Shas'O Kais, Commander Or'es'Ka is a comparatively weak commander, with no additional upgrades in-game. His strengths lie in his abilities - Snare Trap to trap melee specialists and Target Acquired to reduce enemy commander health dramatically. His wargear upgrades are also some of the strongest weapons, with the potent Jon'eb Fusion Blaster and Flamer being available options.

Always get the Jetpack first, as it allows Commander Or'es'Ka greater mobility to make up for his low health. Afterwards, get the Stealth Field and other upgrading wargear before getting weapons, so as to increase Commander Or'es'Ka's survivability in battle.
